NEF Block Kids Building Competition
The NAWIC Education Foundation (NEF) Block Kids Building Program is a national building competition for children in Kindergarten through 6th grade and introduces them to construction careers. Our Central Missouri Chapter sponsors this free event for students in mid-Missouri.
Participants are asked to create something construction related without adult help or guidance using approved materials.

Check back for registration and sponsorship information about our next Block Kids Building event in January 2027!
Participants are given 45 minutes to complete their project using blocks, foil, string, and a rock.
After finishing their project, students have the opportunity to complete a woodworking project - this year they took home a tool caddy!
Awards and prizes are given for 1st, 2nd and 3rd place in each age group, as well as Grand Champion for the overall highest scoring project!
THANK YOU TO OUR 2026 SPONSORS
